I agree AGDee. I think the reason they got rid of Debby is because of her scheming. She was a loose cannon.

How funny (or pathetic) was it that Coach's "loved one" was his assistant coach. Then he proceeds to tell him how others named him the Dragon Slayer - uhhh, Coach, you named yourself that. He also continues to rely on the "Warrior Alliance". Can't he see that the true warriors are slowly killing off all the alliance members?? What a dolt.

He is irritating as heck, but he would be the perfect person to take to the final - noone would vote for him. If anyone breaks the true alliance of 3 (Taj, Stephen, JT), I think it will be Stephen. He clearly is the brains of the operation, yet somehow is getting away with not being called out as a schemer. Brilliant play..

I get the vibe that Taj is just there for the experience, like Brendan was, and will be fine with a 3rd place finish. For her, it was about succeeding in the wild, not winning the million. I doubt very seriously that she and Eddie are hurting for $$$.

Stephen still has Taj's Hidden Immunity Idol too, doesn't he? If I were Taj, I'd be wanting that on my person at this point. I wouldn't be trusting anybody and I truly think that alliance is really just JT and Stephen but they need Taj's vote on everything to keep going, so they're stringing her along for now. I don't see that lasting!

ETA: And YES, very weird that Coach's loved one was his ASSISTANT Coach! Has he alienated his whole family?? What in the world was up with that. I wonder if Jeff has a blog for this epi yet because he was sure snide with Coach at Tribal, wasn't he?

How about when Coach and his assistant were stretching out? That was weird.

And whatever will Coach do now that he is, er, no longer an actual coach? Having lost his job - is his assistant still his "loved one"?

I believe they did get rid of Debbie for that reason, but I don't know that I would call her a "loose cannon". From what I can tell, she's been very loyal to Coach.. until this week when she realized that their alliance was truly in trouble. I think if Debbie was saved this week, she would have stuck by Stephen and JT, thinking that she'd make it to the end with the two of them.

If you ask me, I think they would have been better off getting rid of Erin. She hasn't really been close with anyone there, and I don't think it would have pissed off anyone too much if she left. Stephen and JT would still be going against Coach's plan to get rid of Taj, but they wouldn't have kicked out his main alliance member. They would have had Debbie believing they'd take her to the end, and I think Taj has been thinking the same thing since Day 1. All three of them would probably believe they were on Stephen and JT's good side. Blindsiding people would have been easy.

I have liked JT from the beginning so I am thrilled he won plus he was the fan favorite. Way to go JT
